Hasselblad Camera Gallery

I use this for Gallery Wraps.

Excellent replacement release for my Hasselblad H camera.

I use it to protect my hasselblad.

...for a gallery show. Looked great!

These are a fun way to make camera cookies for a photography themed event, gallery showing, or studio open house. Two pieces for each shape, one to cut out and the other to imprint the details. Leave them as is, or decorate with icing using the imprint as a guide. I'd love to see a second set with other cameras like a large format field camera, a Hasselblad or RB, and a Graflex press camera with a flash attached. Great fun.

I will start with a comment on image quality. Being polite, I will say that if someone tells you this camera can only make small prints you can disregard this absolutely. Where I work the gallery curator is a fussy stickler who believes I can make gallery quality 12 by 16s with the E-3, and this camera has better IQ. Of course you can print larger; I refer to exacting standards. This is a great camera for some fairly common uses, particularly unobtrusive work with people up close and landscape and related work when weight matters. It can replace the classic camera for the first use, that is, it can replace rangefinders. Because you can hold it out just a bit from your chest it also has the TLR advantage that you don't have to put it between your face and your subjects'. I recently did a four day event and compared my E-3 at waist level with live view (a relatively unobtrusive DSLR) and the difference was clear. Indoors in fairly poor light (my recent situation) you either use flash or (as I did) focus manually. Mine is set up to magnify the image as soon as I touch the focus ring and to revert as I press the shutter. Works very well. This was with the 14-54mm II lens and Olympus adapter. Outdoors I took it alpine snowshoeing and really noticed the difference the day it snowed and I took my weather-sealed E-3 instead, even though I took the same lens. (To keep weight down with two cameras I'd been using the 50mm f/2 on the E-3). You wouldn't think it would matter but it does. The days I took the E-P1 it was clear in the snowing mountains - as bright as you can get - and I didn't have trouble seeing the image. Moreover the AF works just fine in good light. You wouldn't use this camera if you wanted to do sports or other work needing really fast AF nor if you wanted good AF in lower light. However, I am hooked and looking forward to the high end mFT more than I am the E-3's successor.

This paper is truly gallery/museum grade. It has become my first choice.

Just what a need it for my Hasselblad Lunar.

I use these on my Hasselblad lenses. Nothing better.

This accessory for the Hasselblad 907X makes a great camera even better. I find it very helpful when shooting vertically with the camera.
